- Dificuldades do enfermeiro no transporte secundário do doente críticoPublication . Mata, Ema Soraia Fazenda; Gaspar, Pedro João SoaresDada a tendência da centralização dos meios de diagnóstico e terapêutica com elevado nível de diferenciação, o transporte inter-hospitalar do doente em estado crítico torna-se cada vez mais frequente e fundamental na resposta adequada às suas necessidades. Contudo e porque se trata de doentes com risco eminente de vida, o transporte acarreta riscos para os quais o enfermeiro e restante equipa interdisciplinar devem estar despertos e preparados. O presente trabalho de investigação visa conhecer as dificuldades dos enfermeiros no transporte inter-hospitalar do doente crítico, no sentido de melhorar a sua intervenção minimizando os riscos reais e potenciais. A estratégia metodológica inicial adotada, para o enquadramento teórico, foi a pesquisa eletrónica de artigos científicos com qualidade metodológica, que decorreu de 6.12.2013 a 9.9.2014. Realizou-se um estudo quantitativo, transversal, correlacional que integrou também a construção/validação de um instrumento/escala para mensurar as dificuldades no transporte secundário (inter-hospitalar) do doente crítico percecionadas pelos enfermeiros (tamanho da amostra = 123). Nos principais resultados destaca-se que os enfermeiros percecionam dificuldades no transporte secundário do doente crítico (M=2,68;DP=0,65).Dentro das dificuldades são as relacionadas com os Recursos e instabilidade do doente (M=3,19;DP=0,77) e com a Morte do doente (M=2,73;DP=1,49) as mais auto reportadas sendo as relacionadas com o Planeamento do transporte secundário e os Sintomas fisiológicos vivenciados pelos enfermeiros as menos percecionadas. Os resultados indiciam também que a perceção das dificuldades diminui à medida que aumenta a experiência profissional nomeadamente nos fatores F1- Planeamento do transporte secundário e F2 -Recursos e instabilidade do doente e as dificuldades percecionadas no fator Planeamento do transporte secundário (F1) aumentam com a existência de formação específica na área.
- Effectiveness of Nursing Interventions on Preventing the Risk of Infection in Adult Inpatients: Protocol for a Systematic ReviewPublication . Todo Bom, Luís Filipe Pereira; Mata, Ema Soraia Fazenda; Cunha, Helena Margarida Pereira; Marquês, Maria do Céu Mendes Pinto; Dixe, Maria dos AnjosBackground/Objectives: Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are a major global public health concern, significantly impacting patient safety and healthcare quality. These infections are associated with high morbidity and mortality rates, prolonged hospital stays, and increased healthcare costs. Nurses play a critical role in infection prevention, implementing evidence-based interventions to reduce infection risks. This systematic review aims to identify and synthesize the most effective nursing interventions to prevent HAIs in hospitalized adults, analyzing their variability across different clinical settings and populations. Methods: This systematic review follows the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) methodology for systematic reviews of effectiveness and is reported according to PRISMA guidelines. The protocol is registered in the PROSPERO database (CRD42024582820). This review includes randomized controlled trials, quasi-experimental studies, and observational studies (cohort, case-control, and cross-sectional) assessing the effectiveness of nursing interventions in reducing HAIs. A comprehensive search is conducted in the PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane databases. Study selection, data extraction, and quality assessment are performed by two independent reviewers, with disagreements resolved by a third reviewer. Results: The primary outcomes include reductions in HAI incidence rate, increased adherence to preventive interventions, decreased hospital length of stay, reduced readmission rates due to infections, and overall patient safety improvements. A meta-analysis is conducted when feasible; otherwise, results are synthesized narratively. Conclusions: The findings of this review contribute to the standardization of evidence-based nursing practices for HAI prevention, promoting safer healthcare environments. By identifying the most effective interventions, this study aims to support healthcare professionals and policymakers in implementing targeted infection control strategies.
- Effectiveness of nursing interventions on preventing the risk of infection in hospitalized adults: a systematic reviewPublication . Bom, Luís Filipe Pereira Todo; Mata, Ema Soraia Fazenda; Cunha, Helena Margarida Pereira; Santos, Ana Rita Melo; Pereira, Ana Sofia Ferreira; Castanheira, Joana Antunes; Dixe, Maria dos Anjos Coelho Rodrigues; Marquês, Maria do CéuBackground Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) remain a global challenge for patient safety and quality of care, affecting millions of individuals each year and resulting in substantial morbidity, mortality, and financial burden. In Europe alone, over 4.2 million episodes of HAI occur annually. Nurses play a pivotal role in infection prevention through the implementation of evidence-based interventions aimed at disrupting transmission chains and reducing infection risk. Despite the widespread dissemination of preventive strategies, marked heterogeneity persists in their implementation and effectiveness, influenced by institutional, behavioural, and contextual factors. Objective To critically evaluate the effectiveness of nursing interventions in preventing infection risk among hospitalised adults through a systematic review of the literature. Methods A systematic review of Randomised Controlled Trials (RCTs) was conducted following the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) methodology and PRISMA 2020 guidelines, with prior registration in PROSPERO (CRD42024582820). Searches were performed across MEDLINE, CINAHL, Scopus, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library up to January 2025. Methodological quality was assessed using JBI critical appraisal tools, and the certainty of the evidence was rated using the GRADE approach. Given the heterogeneity of the included studies, a narrative synthesis was undertaken. Results Out of 8,123 records identified, 22 RCTs (1979–2024) met the inclusion criteria. Nursing interventions, including daily body bathing with chlorhexidine, prevention bundles for catheters and other devices, promotion of hand hygiene, educational strategies, and environmental disinfection (e.g. ultraviolet-C light) demonstrated a significant reduction in HAI incidence compared with usual care. Multimodal and integrated interventions proved more effective than isolated measures. The overall certainty of evidence was moderate for infection reduction and adherence improvement, but inconsistent for patient mortality and satisfaction outcomes. Conclusions Evidence-based nursing interventions, particularly when applied in a coordinated and multimodal manner, substantially reduce infection risk among hospitalised adults. These findings support the integration of such interventions into institutional programmes and infection control policies. Further multicentre RCTs are recommended to assess implementation fidelity, cost-effectiveness, and patient-centred outcomes.
